"I was so excited," Kate explained. "She looks absolutely stunning. So do the other cover girls, but I was excited that it showed all the different body types. I think it's important for all girls to see that.

"It's great that Sports Illustrated showed that every woman can look amazing in a bikini," she continued. "No one should be labeled by their body size at all."

This isn't the first time Kate has offered support for our three 2016 SI Swimsuit cover models though. The world-renowned bombshell took to Instagram when the covers were first revealed to voice the importance of "empowering all body types."
